Sorry if there's another thread like this. I searched, but couldn't find any. I'll keep this thread for little rants that don't deserve their own topics, but I still want to vent about them. Feel free to jump in with your own little rants! I'm currently sick with the flu, and just found out it's not okay to take concerta with the decongestant pseudoephedrine! And I have a phone interview for a job in an hour!! My heart already suffers from (a mild form of) arrhythmia, so I won't risk it, but ARGH!!! So annoying!

I'm not sure if this is a rant or not but does anyone else feel like their friends either
assume they know what ADHD is or just ignore the impact it has on you anyway?
Virtually no one knows I'm pursuing a diagnosis and the ones that do just don't get it.
So i don't fit your idea of what ADHD is? Google is your friend here. Go use it and educate yourself,
I can't do it for you. I don't want to be interrogated about why I think I've 'got it' and try and answer your questions
and justify myself but neither do i want it it be totally ignored. I'm tearing myself all the time
about whether I said too much or the wrong thing. I spent one night this week alone and in tears because
I left a conversation feeling like I'd been told off for being anxious when I was just trying to keep everyone happy!
Urgh it pisses me off so much and worse if i do let rip (which means I've been pushed way beyond what I can cope with)
while I might feel justified and vindicated for a tiny bit, by the next day I'll have more guilt than if
I slept with your boyfriend and stole your cat!

speedy1: Hehe, I just imagined a little Speedy Gonzales delivering Valentine's bouquets! So cute! Hats off to you for managing two jobs! msmercury: Yeah, my friends didn't seem too interested when I told them. :/ I mean, when I open up about this, it means I'd like to discuss it. I wouldn't even mind answering questions. It's better than them ignoring it! And then there are the ones who like to debate my diagnosis. You see, I can't have it because I'm not an 8 year-old boy climbing walls! But they're not really friends anyway. Oh well... If you don't mind me saying, you shouldn't try to please all your friends. It's impossible anyway. And, as you saw, they won't really appreciate it. I know it's part of the disorder, and it's hard to get under control, but try to focus on yourself first.

Yep it sounds like very similar experiences Arte. And yes you're right about not focusing on them. I had major surgery towards the end of last year and despite all the promises to be there when I was diagnosed then I've seen virtually no one since. I'd never treat other people this way. I know it sounds like one of those crappy 'inspirational' quotes but what has been stuck in my head is "when people show you who they are, believe them" So, hard as it is, I am going to try harder to focus on not pleasing others at my own expense. After all I'm the one who ends up crying and they don't know that! Have a great Friday if possible guys and I'll try to as well

Hi! speedy1 How you make names turn red . . .put @ before username. . . this works if people haven't changed their username since registering. You can also click on the @ next to a sort-of person symbol to the left of the C in a square on the toolbar towards top right and start typing a username until it comes up. You can put a picture on your profile in profile settings

Thanks speedy1 you sound pretty cool and your sister too I'm lucky to be married to a fantastic, very patient and forgiving person who rarely gets fed up enough to tell me off when my brain is going 1000 miles an hour or I'm beating myself up. He says the same about me being happy being just as important as everyone else. I need to give him more attention plus my kids, one of whom is also going to be assessed. Besides now I have here to chat and I met up again with the woman whose training set me off on this journey. It's so great to talk to people who just get it. It's also less exhausting!

Had left earache for about 3 months, which now hurts my head and my face below my eye is twitching, I must look a right two and eight!
Can’t flipping sleep without my CPap leaking and waking me up that’s if I get to sleep!
And I hate Hoseasons for not giving me my money back (over £650 for 3 nights) coes I booked wrong date and rang back 18 hours later asking them to move it on 3 weeks but they wanted a grand for that!
3 blunting nights on a barge on a canal...in May...£1000!! Could go abroad all inclusive for that!! Ass.....holes!

I got the job, thanks for asking Yes, it took this long. There were 5 interviews! What a nightmare! And when they were asking me about social events I attend, I almost let it slip that I went to an ADHD meeting. Argh! Anyway, today's rant is for fellow glasses wearers. I wash my glasses with soap and water every day, but they still get dirty really fast. And every little smudge, no matter how small, annoys me to no end! Oh, and sometimes I get distracted by the floaters inside my eyes too!

Congratulations!!
I'm meant to wear glasses but I lost them about 2 years ago.
Still, at least I don't have to keep them clean I guess!

I hope it's fixed now speedy1 A couple of friends have had the same problem this week. Fantastic timing no? My rant is at my own brain. I know what I need to do. Some stuff I'm procrastinating about because it's a total ballache but it needs doing. Other stuff I really want to do. I'm excited (as well as nervous) about doing this stuff. So why the fluff won't my brain settle the hell down and GET ON WITH IT! Days weeks or lives like this make me hope there is a drug that will work for me....

In a society where u r penalised 4 using common sense & awarded 4 idiocracy How r adults with adhd expected to of found suitable coping strategies 2 get through everyday life? Example don't linger on a cars blind spot when overtaking thus reducing the chance of an accident Get a fine & 3 points! Use the wrong type of ladder & fall off get awarded thousands of pounds?!?! Really? WTF!!!!!

And another thing how come u can sue the council when there's pot holesin the road & they cause damage 2 ure vehicle But when they smooth it over they purposely put great lumps of tarmac in the middle of the road Because people r 2 thick 2 learn 2 cross the road safely & there's fuck all u can do except scrape the bottom of ure bike that has lowered & softened suspension Where's the fucking logic?

Just as things were going well...
Bought new motorbike, had it just over a week some scum of the earth scroat decided 2 nick it!
Police fucking useless!!! I cud have a rant about that on it's own (I mite yet)
Rang insurance
U haven't declared ure points on ure licence & haven't declared ure accident 2 years ago
I didn't think I had 2 declare the accident coz I didn't claim on my insurance
I claimed on the bitches insurance that hit me & I was deemed 100% not at fault
I have declared the points
Turns out I haven't declared the points I did it on a different website
I swear I thought I had!
So looks like I'm not gonna get paid out!
FFS!!!
It's just like when things r going well someone upstairs hits a big red button & self destruct is initiated
